APPLICABLE TO THE NOTES ONLY
SECTION 401. FATCA Undertakings. With respect to the Notes only, the Base Indenture is amended by adding Article Thirteen, which shall read as follows:
ARTICLE THIRTEEN
Section 1301. Mutual Undertaking Regarding Information Reporting and Collection Obligations.
Each party to this Indenture shall, within ten (10) business days of a written request by another party to this Indenture, supply to that other party such forms, documentation and other information relating to it, its operations, or the Notes as that other party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other party’s compliance with Applicable Law and shall notify the relevant other party reasonably promptly in the event that it becomes aware that any of the forms, documentation or other information provided by such party is (or becomes) inaccurate in any material respect; provided, however, that no party to this Indenture shall be required to provide any forms, documentation or other information pursuant to this Article to the extent that: (i) any such form, documentation or other information (or the information required to be provided on such form or documentation) is not reasonably available to such party and cannot be obtained by such party using reasonable efforts; or (ii) doing so would or might in the reasonable opinion of such party constitute a breach of any: (a) Applicable Law; (b) fiduciary duty; or (c) duty of confidentiality. For purposes of this this Article, “Applicable Law” shall be deemed to include (i) any rule or practice of any Authority by which any party is bound or with which it is accustomed to comply; (ii) any agreement between any Authorities; and (iii) any agreement between any Authority and any party to this Indenture that is customarily entered into by institutions of a similar nature.
Section 1302. Notice of Possible Withholding Under FATCA.
The Company shall notify each Paying Agent in the event that it determines that any payment to be made by a Paying Agent under the Notes is a payment which could be subject to FATCA Withholding if such payment were made to a recipient that is generally unable to receive payments free from FATCA Withholding, and the extent to which the relevant payment is so treated, provided, however, that the Company’s obligation under this this Section 1302 shall apply only to the extent that such payments are so treated by virtue of characteristics of the Company, the Notes, or both.
Section 1303. Agent Right to Withhold.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, each Paying Agent shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under the Notes for or on account of any Tax, if and only to the extent so required by Applicable Law, in which event the Paying Agent shall make such payment after such deduction or withholding has been made and shall account to the relevant Authority within the time allowed for the amount so deducted or withheld or, at its option, shall reasonably promptly after making such payment return to the Company the amount so deducted or withheld, in which case, the Company shall so account to the relevant Authority for such amount. For the avoidance of doubt, FATCA Withholding is a deduction or withholding which is deemed to be required by Applicable Law for the purposes of this this Section 1303.
Section 1304. Issuer Right to Redirect.
In the event that the Company determines in its sole discretion that any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax will be required by Applicable Law in connection with any payment due to any of the Paying Agents on the Notes, then the Company will be entitled to redirect or reorganize any such payment in any way that it sees fit in order that the payment may be made without such deduction or withholding
5
provided that, any such redirected or reorganized payment is made through a recognized institution of international standing and otherwise made in accordance with this Indenture. The Company will promptly notify the Paying Agents and the Trustee of any such redirection or reorganization. For the avoidance of doubt, FATCA Withholding is a deduction or withholding which is deemed to be required by Applicable Law for the purposes of this Section 1304.
SECTION 402. Additional Amounts. With respect to the Notes only, Section 1010 of the Base Indenture is amended by adding a paragraph to Section 1010, which shall read as follows:
Furthermore, any amounts to be paid by the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, on the debt securities will be paid net of any FATCA Withholding. Neither the Company nor the Guarantor will be required to pay Additional Amounts on account of any FATCA Withholding.

Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days
A-1
prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.
If any deduction or withholding for any present or future taxes, assessments or other governmental charges of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which the Company is incorporated, shall at any time be required by such jurisdiction (or any such political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in respect of any amounts to be paid by the Company of principal of or interest on a Security of any series, then the Company will pay to the Holder of a Security of such series such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such Holder of such Security, after such deduction or withholding, shall be not less than the amounts specified in such Security to which such Holder is otherwise entitled; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make any payment of additional amounts for or on account of:
| (a) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the taxing jurisdiction or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or area subject to its jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation of a Security of such series (where presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; |
| (b) | any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; |

| (d) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Security of such series (i) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner or (ii) to make any declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any information or reporting requirements, which, in the case of (i) or (ii), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; |

| (f) | any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above; nor shall additional amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any Security of such series to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such additional amounts had it been the Holder of such Security. |
Furthermore, any amounts to be paid by the Company on the debt securities will be paid net of any FATCA Withholding. The Company will not be required to pay additional amounts on account of any FATCA Withholding.

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, as Paying Agent, in The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued outside France in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 17, 2012, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated February 19, 2019 (herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company, as issuer, TOTAL S.A., as Guarantor (herein called the “Guarantor”), and The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its London Branch, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitation of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S.$750,000,000.
The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, as follows: (A) prior to June 12, 2021 (one month prior to the Stated Maturity), the Notes shall be redeemable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (the “Optional Make-Whole Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued to the relevant redemption date (any such date, the “Redemption Date”)) discounted to the relevant Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 5 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the relevant Redemption Date and (B) on or after June 12, 2021 (one month prior to Stated Maturity), the Notes shall be redeemable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the Redemption Date.
For purposes of determining the Optional Make-Whole Redemption Price, the following definitions are applicable.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security or securities selected by the Quotation Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities of this series to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Securities.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital, Inc., ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC and a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined below) selected by Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc. and its successors or their respective affiliates which are primary U.S. government securities dealers, and their respective successors, and three other primary U.S. government securities dealers selected by Total Capital International and TOTAL S.A., provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), Total Capital International and TOTAL S.A. shall substitute therefore another Primary Treasury Dealer.

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
“Business Day” shall mean each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which banking or trust institutions in The City of New York are authorized generally or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
This Security is also redeemable prior to Stated Maturity as permitted under Section 1108 (“Optional Redemption Due to Changes in Tax Treatment”); the date specified for the Securities of this series, for the purpose of said Section 1108, is July 10, 2019.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantor, or both, with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for herein.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
A-7
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of U.S.$2,000 and any integral multiple of U.S.$1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes (subject to Section 307 of the Indenture), whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Indenture provides that the Company and the Guarantor, at the Guarantor’s option, (a) will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Securities (except for certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of Securities, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Securities, maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust) or (b) need not comply with certain restrictive covenants of the Indenture, in each case if the Company or the Guarantor deposits, in trust, with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations which, through the payment of interest thereon and principal thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide money, in an amount sufficient to pay all the principal (including any mandatory sinking fund payments) of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Securities on the dates such payments are due in accordance with the terms of such Securities and Guarantee, and certain other conditions are satisfied.
All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

GUARANTEE OF TOTAL S.A.
For value received, TOTAL S.A., a société anonyme duly organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of France (herein called the “Guarantor”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to in the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed), hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Holder of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed and to the Trustee referred to in such Indenture due and prompt payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including additional amounts) on such Security, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of the Indenture referred to therein. In case of the failure of Total Capital International, a société anonyme duly organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of France (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under such Indenture) punctually to make any such principal, premium or interest (including additional amounts) payment, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made promptly when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company.
The Guarantor hereby further agrees, subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth below, that if any deduction or withholding for any present or future taxes, assessments or other governmental charges of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which the Guarantor is incorporated, shall at any time be required by such jurisdiction (or any such political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in respect of any amounts to be paid by the Guarantor under this Guarantee, the Guarantor will pay to the Holder of a Security of such series such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such Holder of such Security, after such deduction or withholding, shall be not less than the amounts specified in such Security to which such Holder is otherwise entitled; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be required to make any payment of additional amounts for or on account of:
| (a) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the taxing jurisdiction or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or area subject to its jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation of a Security of such series (where presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; |
| (b) | any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; |
| (c) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest on, the Securities of such series; |
| (d) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Security of such series (i) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner or (ii) to make any declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any information or reporting requirements, which, in the case of (i) or (ii), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; |
| (e) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which such Holder would have been able to avoid by presenting such Security to another Paying Agent; or |
A-9
| (f) | any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above; nor shall additional amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any Security of such series to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such additional amounts had it been the Holder of such Security. |
Furthermore, any amounts to be paid by the Guarantor on the debt securities will be paid net of any FATCA Withholding. The Guarantor will not be required to pay additional amounts on account of any FATCA Withholding.
Additionally, if under the terms of the debt securities the Company is not required to pay any additional amounts, then the Guarantor shall not be required to pay additional amounts under the guarantee.
The foregoing provisions shall apply mutatis mutandis to any withholding or deduction in respect of any amount to be paid by the Guarantor of principal of or interest on a Security of any series (i) for or on account of any present or future taxes, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature of any jurisdiction in which any successor to the Guarantor is organized, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein; or (ii) if another Person merges into or transfers its assets to the Guarantor pursuant to Section 801, for or on account of any taxes, assessments or governmental charges levied by the jurisdiction in which such other Person is organized, or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, as a result of (x) the Guarantor’s being treated as engaged in a trade or business, or having a permanent establishment, in such jurisdiction and (y) the payment of principal or interest being allocable or attributable to such trade or business or permanent establishment.
The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of such Security or such Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of such Security or such Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Security or such Trustee, or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Security or the interest rate thereon or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by payment in full of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security. This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.
The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of such Security against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all Securities of the same series issued under such Indenture shall have been paid in full.
No reference herein to such Indenture and no provision of this Guarantee or of such Indenture shall alter or impair the guarantee of the Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed at the times, place and rate, and in the cash or currency prescribed therein.
This Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication of such Security shall have been manually executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under such Indenture.

All terms used in this Guarantee which are defined in such Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in such Indenture.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has caused this Guarantee to be signed manually or in facsimile by a person duly authorized in that behalf.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued outside France in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 17, 2012, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated February 19, 2019 (herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company, as issuer, TOTAL S.A., as Guarantor (herein called the “Guarantor”), and The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its London Branch, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitation of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S.$1,000,000,000.
The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, as follows: (A) prior to October 10, 2024 (three months prior to the Stated Maturity), the Notes shall be redeemable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (the “Optional Make-Whole Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued to the relevant redemption date (any such date, the “Redemption Date”)) discounted to the relevant Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the relevant Redemption Date and (B) on or after October 10, 2024 (three months prior to Stated Maturity), the Notes shall be redeemable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the Redemption Date.
For purposes of determining the Optional Make-Whole Redemption Price, the following definitions are applicable.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security or securities selected by the Quotation Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities of this series to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Securities.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date.
“Quotation Agent” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by Total Capital International and TOTAL S.A. The quotation agent will determine the applicable make-whole premium and deliver such determination to Total Capital International and TOTAL S.A., with a copy to the Trustee.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital, Inc., ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC and a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined below) selected by Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc. and its successors or their respective affiliates which are primary U.S. government securities dealers, and their respective successors, and three other primary U.S. government securities dealers selected by Total Capital International and TOTAL S.A., provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), Total Capital International and TOTAL S.A. shall substitute therefore another Primary Treasury Dealer.
B-6
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for herein.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

GUARANTEE OF TOTAL S.A.
For value received, TOTAL S.A., a société anonyme duly organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of France (herein called the “Guarantor”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to in the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed), hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Holder of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed and to the Trustee referred to in such Indenture due and prompt payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including additional amounts) on such Security, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of the Indenture referred to therein. In case of the failure of Total Capital International, a société anonyme duly organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of France (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under such Indenture) punctually to make any such principal, premium or interest (including additional amounts) payment, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made promptly when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company.
The Guarantor hereby further agrees, subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth below, that if any deduction or withholding for any present or future taxes, assessments or other governmental charges of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which the Guarantor is incorporated, shall at any time be required by such jurisdiction (or any such political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in respect of any amounts to be paid by the Guarantor under this Guarantee, the Guarantor will pay to the Holder of a Security of such series such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such Holder of such Security, after such deduction or withholding, shall be not less than the amounts specified in such Security to which such Holder is otherwise entitled; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be required to make any payment of additional amounts for or on account of:
| (a) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the taxing jurisdiction or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or area subject to its jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation of a Security of such series (where presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; |
| (b) | any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; |
| (c) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest on, the Securities of such series; |
| (d) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Security of such series (i) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner or (ii) to make any declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any information or reporting requirements, which, in the case of (i) or (ii), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; |
| (e) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which such Holder would have been able to avoid by presenting such Security to another Paying Agent; or |
B-9
| (f) | any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above; nor shall additional amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any Security of such series to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such additional amounts had it been the Holder of such Security. |
Furthermore, any amounts to be paid by the Guarantor on the debt securities will be paid net of any FATCA Withholding. The Guarantor will not be required to pay additional amounts on account of any FATCA Withholding.
Additionally, if under the terms of the debt securities the Company is not required to pay any additional amounts, then the Guarantor shall not be required to pay additional amounts under the guarantee.
The foregoing provisions shall apply mutatis mutandis to any withholding or deduction in respect of any amount to be paid by the Guarantor of principal of or interest on a Security of any series (i) for or on account of any present or future taxes, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature of any jurisdiction in which any successor to the Guarantor is organized, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein; or (ii) if another Person merges into or transfers its assets to the Guarantor pursuant to Section 801, for or on account of any taxes, assessments or governmental charges levied by the jurisdiction in which such other Person is organized, or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, as a result of (x) the Guarantor’s being treated as engaged in a trade or business, or having a permanent establishment, in such jurisdiction and (y) the payment of principal or interest being allocable or attributable to such trade or business or permanent establishment.
The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of such Security or such Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of such Security or such Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Security or such Trustee, or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Security or the interest rate thereon or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by payment in full of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security. This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.
The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of such Security against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all Securities of the same series issued under such Indenture shall have been paid in full.
No reference herein to such Indenture and no provision of this Guarantee or of such Indenture shall alter or impair the guarantee of the Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed at the times, place and rate, and in the cash or currency prescribed therein.
This Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication of such Security shall have been manually executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under such Indenture.

All terms used in this Guarantee which are defined in such Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in such Indenture.

REVERSE OF SECURITY
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued outside France in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 17, 2012, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated February 19, 2019 (herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company, as issuer, TOTAL S.A., as Guarantor (herein called the “Guarantor”), and The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its London Branch, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitation of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S.$1,250,000,000.
The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, as follows: (A) prior to October 10, 2029 (three months prior to the Stated Maturity), the Notes shall be redeemable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (the “Optional Make-Whole Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued to the relevant redemption date (any such date, the “Redemption Date”)) discounted to the relevant Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 12.5 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the relevant Redemption Date and (B) on or after October 10, 2029 (three months prior to Stated Maturity), the Notes shall be redeemable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the Redemption Date.
For purposes of determining the Optional Make-Whole Redemption Price, the following definitions are applicable.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security or securities selected by the Quotation Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities of this series to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Securities.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date.
“Quotation Agent” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by Total Capital International and TOTAL S.A. The quotation agent will determine the applicable make-whole premium and deliver such determination to Total Capital International and TOTAL S.A., with a copy to the Trustee.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital, Inc., ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC and a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined below) selected by Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc. and its successors or their respective affiliates which are primary U.S. government securities dealers, and their respective successors, and three other primary U.S. government securities dealers selected by Total Capital International and TOTAL S.A., provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), Total Capital International and TOTAL S.A. shall substitute therefore another Primary Treasury Dealer.
C-6
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
“Business Day” shall mean each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which banking or trust institutions in The City of New York are authorized generally or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
This Security is also redeemable prior to Stated Maturity as permitted under Section 1108 (“Optional Redemption Due to Changes in Tax Treatment”); the date specified for the Securities of this series, for the purpose of said Section 1108, is July 10, 2019.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantor, or both, with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for herein.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
C-7
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of U.S.$2,000 and any integral multiple of U.S.$1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

GUARANTEE OF TOTAL S.A.
For value received, TOTAL S.A., a société anonyme duly organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of France (herein called the “Guarantor”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to in the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed), hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Holder of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed and to the Trustee referred to in such Indenture due and prompt payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including additional amounts) on such Security, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of the Indenture referred to therein. In case of the failure of Total Capital International, a société anonyme duly organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of France (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under such Indenture) punctually to make any such principal, premium or interest (including additional amounts) payment, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made promptly when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company.
The Guarantor hereby further agrees, subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth below, that if any deduction or withholding for any present or future taxes, assessments or other governmental charges of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which the Guarantor is incorporated, shall at any time be required by such jurisdiction (or any such political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in respect of any amounts to be paid by the Guarantor under this Guarantee, the Guarantor will pay to the Holder of a Security of such series such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such Holder of such Security, after such deduction or withholding, shall be not less than the amounts specified in such Security to which such Holder is otherwise entitled; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be required to make any payment of additional amounts for or on account of:
| (a) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the taxing jurisdiction or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or area subject to its jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation of a Security of such series (where presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; |
| (b) | any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; |
| (c) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest on, the Securities of such series; |
| (d) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Security of such series (i) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner or (ii) to make any declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any information or reporting requirements, which, in the case of (i) or (ii), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; |
| (e) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which such Holder would have been able to avoid by presenting such Security to another Paying Agent; or |
C-9
| (f) | any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above; nor shall additional amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any Security of such series to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such additional amounts had it been the Holder of such Security. |
Furthermore, any amounts to be paid by the Guarantor on the debt securities will be paid net of any FATCA Withholding. The Guarantor will not be required to pay additional amounts on account of any FATCA Withholding.
Additionally, if under the terms of the debt securities the Company is not required to pay any additional amounts, then the Guarantor shall not be required to pay additional amounts under the guarantee.
The foregoing provisions shall apply mutatis mutandis to any withholding or deduction in respect of any amount to be paid by the Guarantor of principal of or interest on a Security of any series (i) for or on account of any present or future taxes, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature of any jurisdiction in which any successor to the Guarantor is organized, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein; or (ii) if another Person merges into or transfers its assets to the Guarantor pursuant to Section 801, for or on account of any taxes, assessments or governmental charges levied by the jurisdiction in which such other Person is organized, or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, as a result of (x) the Guarantor’s being treated as engaged in a trade or business, or having a permanent establishment, in such jurisdiction and (y) the payment of principal or interest being allocable or attributable to such trade or business or permanent establishment.
The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of such Security or such Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of such Security or such Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Security or such Trustee, or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Security or the interest rate thereon or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by payment in full of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security. This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.
The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of such Security against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all Securities of the same series issued under such Indenture shall have been paid in full.
No reference herein to such Indenture and no provision of this Guarantee or of such Indenture shall alter or impair the guarantee of the Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed at the times, place and rate, and in the cash or currency prescribed therein.
This Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication of such Security shall have been manually executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under such Indenture.

All terms used in this Guarantee which are defined in such Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in such Indenture.

REVERSE OF SECURITY
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued outside France in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 17, 2012, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated February 19, 2019 (herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company, as issuer, TOTAL S.A., as Guarantor (herein called the “Guarantor”), and The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its London Branch, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitation of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S.$1,000,000,000.
The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, as follows: (A) prior to January 12, 2049 (six months prior to the Stated Maturity), the Notes shall be redeemable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (the “Optional Make-Whole Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued to the relevant redemption date (any such date, the “Redemption Date”)) discounted to the relevant Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the relevant Redemption Date and (B) on or after January 12, 2049 (six months prior to Stated Maturity), the Notes shall be redeemable in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) the Redemption Date.
For purposes of determining the Optional Make-Whole Redemption Price, the following definitions are applicable.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security or securities selected by the Quotation Agent as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities of this series to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Securities.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date.
“Quotation Agent” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by Total Capital International and TOTAL S.A. The quotation agent will determine the applicable make-whole premium and deliver such determination to Total Capital International and TOTAL S.A., with a copy to the Trustee.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Barclays Capital, Inc., ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC and a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined below) selected by Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc. and its successors or their respective affiliates which are primary U.S. government securities dealers, and their respective successors, and three other primary U.S. government securities dealers selected by Total Capital International and TOTAL S.A., provided, however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), Total Capital International and TOTAL S.A. shall substitute therefore another Primary Treasury Dealer.
D-6
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m. New York time on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
“Business Day” shall mean each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which banking or trust institutions in The City of New York are authorized generally or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
This Security is also redeemable prior to Stated Maturity as permitted under Section 1108 (“Optional Redemption Due to Changes in Tax Treatment”); the date specified for the Securities of this series, for the purpose of said Section 1108, is July 10, 2019.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantor, or both, with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for herein.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
D-7
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of U.S.$2,000 and any integral multiple of U.S.$1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes (subject to Section 307 of the Indenture), whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Indenture provides that the Company and the Guarantor, at the Guarantor’s option, (a) will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Securities (except for certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of Securities, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Securities, maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust) or (b) need not comply with certain restrictive covenants of the Indenture, in each case if the Company or the Guarantor deposits, in trust, with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations which, through the payment of interest thereon and principal thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide money, in an amount sufficient to pay all the principal (including any mandatory sinking fund payments) of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Securities on the dates such payments are due in accordance with the terms of such Securities and Guarantee, and certain other conditions are satisfied.
All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

For value received, TOTAL S.A., a société anonyme duly organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of France (herein called the “Guarantor”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to in the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed), hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Holder of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed and to the Trustee referred to in such Indenture due and prompt payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including additional amounts) on such Security, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of the Indenture referred to therein. In case of the failure of Total Capital International, a société anonyme duly organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of France (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under such Indenture) punctually to make any such principal, premium or interest (including additional amounts) payment, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made promptly when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company.
The Guarantor hereby further agrees, subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth below, that if any deduction or withholding for any present or future taxes, assessments or other governmental charges of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which the Guarantor is incorporated, shall at any time be required by such jurisdiction (or any such political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in respect of any amounts to be paid by the Guarantor under this Guarantee, the Guarantor will pay to the Holder of a Security of such series such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts paid to such Holder of such Security, after such deduction or withholding, shall be not less than the amounts specified in such Security to which such Holder is otherwise entitled; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be required to make any payment of additional amounts for or on account of:
| (a) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which would not have been imposed but for (i) the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of, or possessor of a power over, such Holder, if such Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the taxing jurisdiction or any political subdivision or territory or possession thereof or area subject to its jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such Holder (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder or possessor) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or having been present or engaged in trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein or (ii) the presentation of a Security of such series (where presentation is required) for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; |
| (b) | any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; |
| (c) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise than by withholding from payments of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest on, the Securities of such series; |
| (d) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Security of such series (i) to provide information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial owner or (ii) to make any declaration or other similar claim or satisfy any information or reporting requirements, which, in the case of (i) or (ii), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from all or part of such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; |
| (e) | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which such Holder would have been able to avoid by presenting such Security to another Paying Agent; or |
D-9
| (f) | any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above; nor shall additional amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any Security of such series to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) to be included in the income for tax purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such additional amounts had it been the Holder of such Security. |
Furthermore, any amounts to be paid by the Guarantor on the debt securities will be paid net of any FATCA Withholding. The Guarantor will not be required to pay additional amounts on account of any FATCA Withholding.
Additionally, if under the terms of the debt securities the Company is not required to pay any additional amounts, then the Guarantor shall not be required to pay additional amounts under the guarantee.
The foregoing provisions shall apply mutatis mutandis to any withholding or deduction in respect of any amount to be paid by the Guarantor of principal of or interest on a Security of any series (i) for or on account of any present or future taxes, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature of any jurisdiction in which any successor to the Guarantor is organized, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein; or (ii) if another Person merges into or transfers its assets to the Guarantor pursuant to Section 801, for or on account of any taxes, assessments or governmental charges levied by the jurisdiction in which such other Person is organized, or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, as a result of (x) the Guarantor’s being treated as engaged in a trade or business, or having a permanent establishment, in such jurisdiction and (y) the payment of principal or interest being allocable or attributable to such trade or business or permanent establishment.
The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of such Security or such Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of such Security or such Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Security or such Trustee, or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Security or the interest rate thereon or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by payment in full of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security. This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.
The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of such Security against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all Securities of the same series issued under such Indenture shall have been paid in full.
No reference herein to such Indenture and no provision of this Guarantee or of such Indenture shall alter or impair the guarantee of the Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed at the times, place and rate, and in the cash or currency prescribed therein.
This Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication of such Security shall have been manually executed by or on behalf of the Trustee under such Indenture.
D-10
All terms used in this Guarantee which are defined in such Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in such Indenture.
D-11
